* Jenifer and Jim

Jenifer & Jim closed their Nebraska office and flew to Maine with their friends and family for a mid-week wedding (Wednesday nuptials!! I hope this is a trend that catches on!) at the Lucerne Inn in Dedham, Maine.

They were married in a gazebo overlooking Phillips Lake and a mountain backdrop.

Check out these photos at 'magic hour:'a nice detail after Jenifer's walk to the gazebo (Jim was a little camera shy):their first dance:Jenifer found a little toy truck in the grass and gave it to the ring bearer. This is an image I would normally edit out, but for some reason I keep coming back to it. The lighting? 70's flare? Semi-eerie swimming pool? I don't know. Click on it to see it bigger and see if you get caught up in the odd moment too.The reaction:

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Our pictures are SO WONDERFUL!! You did such an amazing job! What can I say...they are so beautiful!! It's like it is our wedding day all over again. You captured the whole day, every memorable moment!! I can't stop smiling, just like that day!

Everyone has told me you take the greatest pictures, which I knew all along!! I can' t tell you how happy I am about my decision to have you photograph our wedding. It was everything I expected and more! You were so great to work with...you're so sweet and were nice to me from the very beginning! It was like talking to an old friend! But you are also very professional and exceptionally talented. You really are!

You caught some great pictures of Jim (and he didn't even know it!!), which I really treasure, because I can't get him to take any for me! Thank you so much. The pictures of all the kids are precious, just perfect. And thank you for all the lovely pictures of me. You captured how happy I was that day (and still am ;-) ) so I will always be able to look back and see it. Now that is priceless!

I could go on and on and on, so I'll stop gushing! If you ever need a referral, please use me! I really do hope to work with you again someday. You are simply the best! :-)
